FAQs
What is Somagesic Forte Tablet?
Somagesic Forte Tablet is a combination of two medicines: Diclofenac and Paracetamol. This medication helps in relieving pain and inflammation. It works by lowering the levels of chemical substances in the body that cause pain and inflammation.

Is it safe to use Somagesic Forte Tablet?
Yes, Somagesic Forte Tablet is safe for most of the patients. However, in some patients it may cause some unwanted common side effects like nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, heartburn, diarrhea and other uncommon and rare side effects. Inform your doctor if you experience any persistent problem while taking this medication.
Can I stop taking Somagesic Forte Tablet when my pain is relieved?
Somagesic Forte Tablet, when used for long-term pain relief, should be continued for as long as advised by your physician. It can be discontinued if you are using it for short-term pain relief.
Can the use of Somagesic Forte Tablet cause nausea and vomiting?
Yes, the use of Somagesic Forte Tablet can cause nausea and vomiting. Taking it with milk, food or with antacids can prevent nausea. Avoid taking fatty or fried foods along with this medication. In case of vomiting, drink plenty of water or other fluids by taking small frequent sips. Talk to your doctor if vomiting persists and you notice signs of dehydration, like dark colored and strong-smelling urine and a low frequency of urination. Do not take any other medicine without speaking to your doctor.
Can the use of Somagesic Forte Tablet cause dizziness?
Yes, the use of Somagesic Forte Tablet can cause dizziness (feeling faint, weak, unsteady or lightheaded) in some patients. If you feel dizzy or lightheaded it is better to rest for some time and resume once you feel better.
Can the use of Somagesic Forte Tablet cause damage to kidneys?
Yes, the long-term use of Somagesic Forte Tablet can cause damage to the kidneys. Normal kidneys produce a chemical called prostaglandins that protect them from damage.

Can Somagesic Forte Tablet be taken with Vitamin B-complex?
Yes, Somagesic Forte Tablet can be taken with Vitamin B-complex preparations. While Somagesic Forte Tablet helps to relieve pain, Vitamin B-complex can help to correct the vitamin deficiency that might be causing the underlying painful condition.
